my lords, as the noble lord will be aware, we have taken as a priority to actually increase the doctorcord number of undergraduates will begin medical training by 2020 with 1500 new funded places and five new medical schools. the noble lord mightjest but this is a very serious matters. practise what is also known my lords, the migration has recognised being a shortage in the uk, and given a priority on the soul, no one in the specialisms have been refused visas. lord courtown. 11,000 jobs are now at risk after two big high street names, house of fraser and poundworld became the latest to run into trouble. a conservative former cabinet minister wanted to know what the government was going to do to stop more shops closing. does the government presently feel that there is a level playing field between internet providers and businesses on the high street? he absolutely highlights a key issue which is the transition from traditional bricks and mortar to online and alone we saw a 9% increase in the retail online last year and that clearly is a challenge for government and for business. that

i think the commons and the lords are playing their part and it will now come back to the lords on mondaycess is working with up the thunderous headlines we had this one, do not usurp the will of the people, the message being put forward to those mps voting today. obviously a lot of criticism of the lords and the amendments that have come from the upper chamber. how does that all make you feel as someone who believes that you would argue, you are simply doing what you're supposed to do under the constitution? i think it is really a kind of bullying and what the lords tried to do with amendments this to give power back to parliament and at the moment the government proposal was when the deal comes to parliament at the end of the year if it is voted down then it is up to the government what happened next. but europe unelected. we are just inviting the commons to say hang on, is that right or should parliament have a say in what happens if a d raft have a say in what happens if a draft deal is voted down. now the commons is debating that and that is a good thing and it will come back to the

after all my lords, they know what is going on. and my lords, will the government...g the word "islamophobia"? because it is surely reasonable and not at all phobic to fear the world's most violent ideology from which indeed... shame! from which indeed most hate speech now comes. the minister said the government was committed to tackling islamophobia. will the noble lord and minister agree that the attempt to the stigmatise muslims as the original question does is unworthy of this lordship‘s house? and such language aids those who oppose cohesive communities and encourages hate crimes, attacks on both mosques and individual muslims? my lords, i very much agree with the noble lady on that issue. she knows that the great mass of people want the cohesive communities that we have. as a teacher of islamic law, i would like to make a correction to the statement. islam accepts all religions that preceded it. all religions of the book are respected and accepted. and this is a koranic teaching. therefore there is no time for respect for anyone who demonises any religion and th

out of the depths have i cried to you, o lord. lord, hear my voice.our ears consider well the voice of my supplication. god is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. we meet in the name ofjesus christ, who died and was raised to the glory of god the father. we come to give thanks for our loved ones who have died, to comfort one another with the word of life, and to seek god in these days of sorrow. grace and peace be with you. all: and also with you. let's sta nd let's stand to sing amazing grace. # amazing grace # how sweet the sound # that saved # a wretch # like me # i once was lost # but now i'm found # was blind # but now i see # ‘twas grace # that taught # my heart to fear # and grace # my fears relieved # how precious did # that grace appear # the hour # i first believed # thro‘ many dangers # toils and snares # i have already # come # ‘tis grace hath brought # me safe this far # and grace will lead # me home first of all i would like to welcome everybody who has taken time to come here today to be with us — bereaved families,

lord norton on what next for the government and brexit.ents at the gosport war memorial hospital — where hundreds of elderly patients had their lives cut short — were "tragic and deeply troubling." an inquiry has found that the patients died because of what it says was an institutionalised regime of prescribing dangerous doses of powerful painkilling drugs when there was no medical justification to do so. the health and social care secretary told the commons that the report into the suspicious deaths at the hospital between 1989 and 2000 was truly shocking. the panel found that over the period, the lives of over a50 patients were shortened by clinically inappropriate use of opioid analgesics. with an additional 200 lives also likely to have been shortened if missing medical records are taken into account. the first concerns were raised by brave nurse whistle—blowers in 1991, but then systematically ignored. families first raised concerns in 1998, and they too were ignored. nothing i say today will lessen the anguish and pain of families wh

lord sugar hosts the apprentice on bbc one. synonymous with these two stinging words... you are fired. but following the senegal—poland world cup match, lord sugar tweeted to compare senegal‘s national team to beach vendors in spain, posting an image of sunglasses and handbags underneath. the comments prompted hundreds of people to show him the red card, some calling him racist. lord sugar‘s response? "i can't see what i have to apologise for, you are 0tt." as an educational charity working with young people on a daily basis, and seeing the effects of casual racism, i can assure him that it is casual racism. but i think as the reaction‘s gone on over the course of the day, i think lord sugar has come to realise the implications of his words and his actions today. 0thers watching the match saw it as extra motivation for the senegalese team. this is a kind of message that we must end. in fact, it maybe help us to become more motivated and show them that those kind of comments does not have any place in the football industry. we'v

the house of lords, because the house of lords is generally quite pro— europe, quite pro—eu.te pro-eu. they call it ping—pong, but it is rather slower than that. slower than ping—pong, and you canjust get the highlights. and theresa may had a sort of crisis moments, and these tory rebels... it is difficult to say tory rebels, because there are rebels on both sides. they said they wouldn't back it unless they had assurances they would get a meaningful vote on the final deal, and if indeed we crash out without a deal, theresa may gave some assurances that it turned out they are not assurances at all. it has gone back to the lords and they have suffered another landmark defeat. it will have to go back to the commons, back and forth. she basically doesn't have the numbers in the lords, and the remainer tory rebels are so infuriated at the way they feel they were misled last week that they have threatened to vote against it even if it means bringing down the government. that is quite serious. that is a very good up sum, summary of the situation. the question is whether this vote i

let's be clear, that lords amendment i9 vote?t lords amendment 19 was a wrecking amendment 19 was a wrecking amendment that would have potentially destroyed any prospect of brexit, and also destroyed any prospect of getting a good deal out of the eu. it has been defeated, and what we've seen today is all the lords amendments that have been defeated whereby healthy majorities. we have another debate tomorrow, and there'll be some debate over what concessions have actually been given by the government, and that will come back and haunt us tomorrow and later on in the week. the lords will disagree with everything you've just said about there are amendments being wrecking amendments... being wrecking they said about there are amendments being wrecking they admitted themselves that they were wrecking amendments, they said it would stop brexit. having said all that, the concession was made, and it was strongly enough put to convince some backbench tory mps that parliament will have a meaningful say at some point during this whole proce

lord, we pray for the future of the people of venezuela and i pray today, lord, that you would pour out your spirit of hope on these people. all these things we ask in jesus name, amen. >> thank you. [ applause ]

so that even the most hard working and conscientiously lords and politicians can get a little. over there that the lord said now is why i sort of jumping in very quickly let's go back to the russian president vladimir putin's annual televised q. and a with the public. my position clear on this multiple times this is a message to contain russia just like the so called sanctions. these. allegations. provide the. foundation for them. to take. containment measures they feel that. it would contain russia because they see russia as a threat they see russia. which is what i feel is the. wrong policy because it's not in the interest of the world that to contain a new one you need to engage in constructive collaboration and. bring more benefits for the global economy and for the vast majority of national community. and we're seeing that some of our part. coming to see that you can see what has been happening in some of the your western countries missy so what politicians have been saying that they need to be normal relations with russia which politicians do have their own goals but agai

yes 170 of those were reports to the house of lords. the bill quite significantly but the attention has been on the high—level issues, specifically the vote. and obviously that has been quite bruising from a government point of view but at the end of the day, it is actually got the measure through. and fundamentally, had to get the bill through in order to ensure that we've got a legal system in place post brexit. but the clock is ticking, as we've been talking about. given the experience of this bill, do you think that parliament is going to get through all the necessary legislation or can you see mps and peers having to sit through the summer or sit through the conference season to try to get this done? well, given as you say the tight timetable involved, there are several bills that we need to get through between now and next march, so it is going to be quite demanding. it was quite demanding with the eu withdrawal bill and required some lengthy sittings, so i suspect that may well be the case between now and next march, the governme

we have tried speaking to lord sugar that he was not available. way intended to cause offence and clearly my attempt at humour has backfired. i have deleted the tweet and am very sorry. sir alan michael sugar... the bbc press office commented on lord sugar‘s actions, saying it was a seriously misjudged tweet. it continued, it is right he has apologised unreservedly. despite the comments off the pitch, senegal claimed victory on the pitch with a win over poland. and even the fans were praised for cleaning up the stand afterwards. our top story this evening. calls for a criminal investigation into how more than 450 hospital patients died after wrongly being given powerful painkillers. and in the world cup in moscow, cristiano ronaldo has made footballing history again. and coming up later in the hour on bbc news, we‘ll be live in moscow with sportsday, as we look at all the action and news on day seven of the world cup. it was one of the most talked—about legal cases of last year. great 0rmond street children‘s hospital took the parents of a baby, c

all sleepy looking lords and i want. londonistan help me determine which of these are just resting their eyes and which are most definitely in the land of nod. he might be resting his they've just been told off for sleeping too much in the chamber guys lost control of his neck so he's definitely sleeping but i think he'd be asleep and he might be resting but i don't know their own just looking down as an e o's is ok not guilty not guilty what about what about these to . rest in his eyes they should be allowed to have a little clip in the chamber that's lots of hard. scrutinizing measures i would think this place i would be a letter and that if i went to work so why should i'd love to be paid for having a kid in my office think they should be allowed to have a little kip in the chamber were they well as far as i'm concerned they're all gentlemen and they deserve a little bit. long day just listening to other people all day long so they get on a bit but. now the highly anticipated meeting between the u.s. and north korea l

we now come colleagues to lords amendment 37. motion to disagree with lord's amendment 37.at are walking past you in the lobby? is it, as we were predicting over the previous few days, as crucial as we were thinking? yes, i think it can be very fractious, when you talk to a lot of conservative rebels and people like dominic grieve, he doesn't want to be in this position. he is not out to cause trouble. but he is scrutinyising the legislation and thinking there are problems with it. although there may not be a government defeat, that is because the government has conceded. what we don't know until we see the wording is, it could be on important moment where the government have conceded that principle that if we get to no deal that parliament has a greater say than they would have done. that is what, i have been speaking to somebody from the snp, that is what they think will happen, that the government has had to give ground. although a ministerial resignation may have looked like there was no point, because the rebels backed down. if they have backed down it is because the g

but it turns out where the lord wanted me. as of euro surgeon i was on the board and i had other experiences i used to question in your servants don't do this kind of stuff why am i doing this? but then i understood fully the large government agency because you need all of those skills in terms of management and people with financials the lord never asked anything he does not prepare you for. but that he does not give you the resources. >> we are accused of many things big stories written in such a way there is so much hate out there i find a lot of this stuff amazing. no one on earth who could care less. [laughter] and nobody is more thrifty than my wife but they needed that narrative. but the people in this room really should play no part in getting caught up in all the partisan hatred somebody has to be the adult and i think that should be the christians out there 17 and i will tell you where i'm coming from with those individuals and the many families out there that are struggling, in a responsible way traveling around the

and we're back with lord peter truscott member of the house of lords discussing politics and so i can post it here of welcome back so there are calls from your colleagues like lord waverley lord to kill clooney in the house of lords to and escalation aimed at russia and to engage in more cooperation dialogue with moscow are there ways is being hurried or are they considered as marginals. well i think i think i'm fortunate the moment is still in the minority their voices on being and you know one encouraging thing for me is that there are more people saying that now than than say a couple of years ago a couple of years ago things were. pretty bad in terms of their research phobia and the rhetoric which was used against russia in the house improve noticeably in the house of lords i think. in the house of commons is a bit more of an uphill struggle but nevertheless there are people increasingly speaking up and saying you know this is all very well but where where is this going to lead us you know where all sanctions going to lead is where is all this rhetoric going to lead us to you know

but indeed, the lord has something even greater. in fact, i would give you one more piece of advice. the closed doors, the doors that god closes, are the ones that you should applaud as well. for it is the disappointments in life, and the trust that he is writing that story, that makes it so wonderful. because it is more important how you handle disappointment, then -- more important how you handle disappointment than appointment. more important how you handle disappointment than appointment. i am reminded of this verse, it helps cure me from wanting my own plans, because it says -- he gave them the request, but he sent leanness to their souls. it has taught me to pray, lord, don't give me what i want, but what you want. you open the doors and you close the doors. i have the advantage of having a little more gray hair then you as graduates today. to look backwards -- you can look backwards and see how god weaves it. i can tell you, when i was in europe face come i wanted to be a medical salesman, make lots of money. instead, i have

tonight we saw a lot of mps come back into the lords when the bill was handed back.it's a bit different, but it's him —— the amount of time was spent there, for me. that's not in here, it's not what's not gone on and house of lords. what you think... what do you think about the prospect of this now being able to smooth over? our political correspondent at the beginning said the bill has become an act of parliament, but said this was the easy bit. yes, this is the beginning of the beginning, it's not even the end of the beginning. dominc grieve said today the massive thing to come up his trade and customs, and those will be absolutely seismic. the ructions in the lords and commons are going to be massive, people are so passionate about this. we were saying earlier, families have fallen out, it's like trump in america. people are so engaged with this that it's causing a lot of conflict. and it's only starting now, it will get much worse, i'm afraid. this is step one. take a deep breath, everybody! i feel quite theresa may is the focus on their front page. james, this i
